Actually, it may be wise to choose names that

  a) are clearly private, so people know they should not start using
explicitly h5py_serial or h5py_mpi;

  b) will not clash with anything upstream may adopt in the future, a
bit like choosing a debian-specific soname for  shared library.

why not _debian_h5py_serial and _debian_h5py_mpi?

Feel free to disregard this suggestion or choose something else as you
see fit. Just my 2c to avoid future headaches.

Regards, Thibaut.
